The Continental

If any of you speak French, can you tell me how I screwed this up? I'm working from a high school education here people. Merci.

Subject: assistance, s'il vous plait

Bonjour-
Mon pere est un citoyen francais et je desire prendre un rendez-vous pour verifier mon demande de citoyennete. Je croix que j'en ai toute la paperasserie mais je ne suis pas sur. J'habite a New York. Est-ce que nous pouvons nous rencontrer?

Merci beaucoup,
Jesse

(Excusez-moi, s'il vous plait, si mon francais est mauvais. Je n'ai pas beaucoup d'occasions pour parler la langue.)
